If you ask any real estate agent, they will tell you that you literally learn something new from every escrow that you close. In this case, I have learned about an amazing little pocket of properties just south of Wilshire and just east of Fairfax. I had driven through the area many times and thought it to be quite nice, but had never thoroughly explored it. When my client had given me his list of must haves for his next home: bright, airy, safe/pleasant neighborhood, AFFORDABLE, well laid out, and walkable, we found a town house that met all of his criteria right off the bat. What I love about this pocket of 8thStreet is that it feels completely residential with beautiful tree lined streets dotted with lovely Spanish style homes, town houses, and condominiums. What takes it over the edge of fantastic is that you are literally within walking distance to everything. Although I am not going to pretend to be a major art enthusiast(I like art and all, but you are not going to typically see me strolling through a museum on a weekend unless there’s an event happening with an open bar), I love the idea that you are just steps to LACMA. In addition, there are a ton of places to dine, grab a cup of coffee, or pick up groceries all within a five minute walk.
The unit itself is a corner unit with dark hardwood floors, beautiful stainless steel Viking appliances contrasting against classic cherry cabinetry and uber chic charcoal Brazilianstone back splashes. One of my personal favorites in the unit is the dining room/bar combo that features this striking lighting fixture that is the focal point of the room. With windows throughout and a wrap around patio, there is plenty of outdoor space for barbecuing and entertaining. The upstairs master has an additional balcony and voluminous vaulted ceilings.
This truly is an example of a dramatic and well done unit in a hidden gem of a neighborhood.
